Best possible replacement: Jurickson Profar / 2012 stats: had an .820 OPS with 14 homers and 62 RBI at double-A Frisco / Why he’d fit: Profar is arguably the top prospect in baseball right now, and though he doesn’t turn 20 until February, the Rangers had no qualms about starting Elvis Andrus young. Profar would surely hit some speed bumps as a rookie, but a year at the big leagues could help his development and he’s a dynamic player that could give the Rangers flexibility and above average defense at two or three infield positions.
